recipes from a girl with a big appetite & a tiny kitchen

sugar

Have I ever mentioned that I am known for spilling things? It’s not something I exactly want people to know about me but it’s something that I just can’t seem to escape from. Case and point, I have discovered one of the worst things to possibly spill: flour.

When I woke up in the morning to make these cookies I saw I had a voicemail from an unknown number. It turns out I had purchased a brand of flour that is currently being recalled for E. coli contamination and was being notified to discard or return my flour. Working for the health department I know wayyy too much about the dangers of E. coli and I don’t want anything to do with it (nor do I want to become a case that my coworkers have to investigate). Anyways this brings me to my flour spillage…

I have been on quite the hiatus for the past two weeks. I have been M.IA. for a couple of reasons. First, I have been fighting a cold for what seems like forever and have not been up for doing much other than drinking tea. Secondly, I had my parents in town and have been playing hostess to them. We were lucky enough to go on a ski trip which also took me away for a little. Nonetheless I am back just in time for Valentine’s Day!

If there’s one thing I like about the Valentine’s Day is that it involves chocolate, and lots of it. So I knew I needed to make something chocolatey this week. I settled on making these sugar cookie truffles because of how delicious they sounded and how simple they were to make. While I have no problem making an extravagant dessert, there is something extra sweet about making treats that take no time at all.
